Chapter 1120: Chapter 1118: Hit While Lying Down
Bai Sulian got onto her own carriage and tossed a cushion out, her face full of resentment, but no longer showing any pitifulness.
"Miss!" Her personal maidservant Lv E said, "That surname Wu, they bully people too much!"
Such probing, anyone can do it. Even if knowing the other is trying to talk, one would only keep quiet, understanding it internally, at most feeling displeased. Who else is like her, blatantly slapping the face directly, leaving people embarrassed?
"Go find out whatâs the origin of that surname Wu, how did Zhao Min, that fool, suddenly become like this?" Bai Sulian said with a face full of annoyance, gritting her teeth, "No wonder these days, after sending her several messages, she hasnât replied. Turns out someone is sabotaging it!"
Both the master and the servant understood who this person was, it was definitely that Wufu.
Getting shot while lying down, thatâs exactly someone like Wufu. If she knew Bai Sulianâs thoughts, she would definitely spit at her: Your White Lotus act isnât good, still blaming me! Is it any of my business!
"Yes." Lv E hesitated and said, "Miss, what about the Commandery Princess?"
Bai Sulian, feeling a headache, held her forehead and said, "We can only let it be for now. We must wait until her anger subsides."
Dealing with Zhao Min isnât just a day or twoâs matter, understanding her temperament requires some insight. The more you clash with her when sheâs feeling uneasy, the more disadvantageous it gets. On the contrary, her anger comes fast and dissipates quickly; she can only slowly win her back.
Itâs truly a headache, taking so much effort to appease this respected figure, and now suddenly back to the beginning, truly hateful.
Lv E said, "Miss, being so entangled wonât do. This servant thinks the Commandery Princess wonât change her mind anytime soon, yet youâve already reached the age of marriage... Iâve heard that Madam is already looking for a matchmaker!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Sulian felt a tightness in her heart, twisting the handkerchief in her hand into a pickle, biting her lips tightly, her face full of sorrow: "What kind of good family can she find for me? They are all Concubineâs Sons, or poor students struggling to afford three meals. Tell me, in terms of talent and looks, where am I inferior to Bai Suzhen and the others? Itâs just my birth thatâs lacking, born out of the legitimate motherâs womb, am I to be so disgraced? I, I truly donât accept it!"
If it werenât like this, would she be painstakingly making a way for herself? With her birth mother dead early and no one to rely on, she can only depend on herself.
She doesnât ask for much, just a decent way out, yet why is it so difficult?
Lv E fell silent again, no matter how much discontent, what else could she do? Could she shove it back and reincarnate?
"Miss, even like this, you canât place all your hopes on the Commandery Princess, you must find more ways." Lv E said. She is one with her master, if the master is good, she too will be well.
Bai Sulian nodded and said, "Youâre right, I must seek another way, canât hang myself on a single tree, I must think for myself."
She didnât know, while she and her maid were plotting, a matron went to the Bai Family, requesting to see Madam Bai.
When Bai Sulian returned home, she was summoned by her legitimate mother, who scolded her from head to toe, saying that no one died at home, wearing mourning white was to disgust whom, and even sent a trusted matron to her room to burn all her white plain clothes, then had her confined at home, copying the Classic of Filial Piety.
The people close to Bai Sulian discreetly inquired and found out that Changping had sent a matron to give lessons on etiquette and the like, anger surged within her, making her faint right away, transforming the White Lotus into a sickly Lian Hua.
